It's 100*1000*1000 (because 1 Megabyte means 1024*1024, but 1 Megabit means 1000*1000, the theoretical maximum on a FastEthernet is 100.000.000). But if you store the data in bytes and multiply it by 8 when graphing, your maximum should be 12.500.000 (because the maximum is still 100.000.000, divided by 8 will be bytes).
